A reporter from local news station KFOR supposedly called it the biggest, most destructive tornado in the history of the world, and estimated it was two to three times the magnitude of the massive tornados that hit Oklahoma in 1999. Updates to come. Updates:
Acer ârubrumâ refers to the color red, and red is certainly this treeâs defining feature. When fall arrives, your Red Maple will be one of the first to color, quickly cloaking itself in more of the vibrant red shades that give it its name.
Characteristics of the black maple tree include leaves that appear similar to the leaves of the sugar maple, except the leaf and stem are thicker than in the sugar maple. The bark looks like it has vertical peels; however, it is darker in color and has very deep grooves in it.
